Skyworth E800A TV is Skyworth's healthy cloud TV series products, adding 42-inch, 47-inch and 55-inch mainstream smart TV-size product specifications to the user's living room, targeting high-end smart TV products to meet the high-end user needs. What about Skyworth E800A TV? Xiao Bian dismantles the depth evaluation for everyone, and try out the advantages of Skyworth E800A TV to help everyone understand!
Skyworth E800A uses this year's very popular "borderless" design, based on IPS hard screen and not flash 3D technology, built-in "iPhone4S dual-core processor of the same level (source manufacturer data)", carrying Android 4.0 system. In addition, the series is also equipped with Skyworth's newly developed “cloud health†platform, which can create a new application area for smart TV era by providing users with measurement, management, and monitoring of commonly used health indicators (such as blood pressure, weight, and fat content). .
The product we are going to evaluate this time is the 42-inch model in the Skyworth E800A series: 42E800A. The current e-commerce offer for this TV is around 8,000 yuan, which is not cheap. It is almost the same as the foreign-branded 3D LED TVs of the same size.
Borderless is not the only new look style parsing
Skyworth is South Korea's LG Display's largest strategic partner in China, so Skyworth's mid- to high-end LED TV will basically use LGD's IPS panel. Skyworth E800A adopts LGD's latest “Boundless Hard-Screen†technology in 2012, and its appearance has more obvious changes than traditional LCD TVs.
Skyworth E800A basically can not see the traditional LCD TV in the traditional sense of the border, in addition to the bottom of the screen because the speaker and the installation of the base need to retain a border, the sides and the top of the fuselage and in fact there is no border. Although we can see from the naked eye that there is a very narrow black border around the screen, it is only the structure of the panel itself, rather than the screen frame in the traditional sense.
Pressing the Home button on the remote control will enter the smart TV application page. Skyworth calls this “smart 3D UIâ€. In this interface, it not only provides a preview of the current input signal, but also various other functions such as online video on demand, APP store, Skyworth cloud health platform, and system settings. In addition, users can also replace the wallpaper by themselves to create a personalized window.
Finally talk about the overall experience of each APP. First of all, from the perspective of fluency, under the support of Android 4.0 and high-performance processors, the operation, start-up, and exit processes of the various applications of the Skyworth E800A are relatively rapid and smooth. Except when there is a pause of about 2 seconds at the time of withdrawal, there will be no feeling of being stuck at other times.
VOD service experience: online smooth 3D HD
Online video on demand is another major feature of the Skyworth E800A series. Skyworth has cooperated with two content providers, Outstanding Player and Prosper, and the number, type and quality of film sources have been greatly improved compared with the past.
On the homepage of VOD page, you can see the recent hits: "Love Apartment 3", "Beijing Youth" and "Super Battleship" all appear. The timeliness is still good. In the category of 3D programs, you can also find the full version of the classic blockbusters released during the years of The Blue Wizard and Raytheon.
The network bandwidth of our evaluation room is about 2M. We tried to watch the effects of watching 3D programs online. Most programs have a buffer speed of less than 30 seconds. After that, they can watch HD programs smoothly and will not be buffered frequently. Interrupt normal program appreciation.

Although we can see from the naked eye that there is a very narrow black border around the screen, it is only the structure of the panel itself, rather than the screen frame in the traditional sense.
In addition, the Skyworth E800A series also features a “new moon†shaped base with a rich sense of design. This radiant pedestal can show an elegant curve, and the sturdy feeling brought by the neutralization of the screen's overly direct lines, although not the original creation of Skyworth, is used in the frameless body of the Skyworth E800A. Still full of charm.
Through detailed photos, we can see that the screen of Skyworth E800A is surrounded by a metal brushed shell. Due to the panel's own characteristics, the use of a metal frame not only guarantees sufficient strength, but also protects the screen around itself, and it can also reflect a tough texture.
Side view of Skyworth E800A. You can see that there is a raised structure at the bottom. This part is the location of the horn.
HDMI is slightly less! Input and output terminal configuration
Skyworth E800A provides 2-way HMDI HD input, wired network terminal RJ45, 3 USB terminals, and digital audio optical output terminals. Analog interface provides one way D-SUB, color terminal and AV terminal. More interesting is that the E800A also provides a dedicated subwoofer output terminal. Although it is not a regular subwoofer style, it looks like the structure is not complicated and it should be possible to adapt to the common subwoofer. In addition, this machine only has a built-in analog high-frequency head, and can not directly watch the ground digital HDTV.
Multi-function touch remote control experience
The input and manipulation of smart TVs is considered to be one of the most critical factors affecting the user experience. The input and manipulation are mainly achieved through the TV remote controller. The smart TVs listed this year will be equipped with dual remote controllers and even three remote controllers, and some products may even be compatible with keyboards and mice on PCs. The purpose is to solve the user's experience when entering texts or playing games, although this method is not This is a brand new product for smart TVs.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the Skyworth E800A comes standard with only one remote control. However, after the trial found that although the remote control does not look large, the keys are not many, but it also integrates a lot of features: In addition to the traditional remote control function, this remote control also integrates a touchpad, voice input function. The upper numeric keypad area adopts a novel touch design, which corresponds to a number key at ordinary times, and can also be switched to a touch panel in a smart application to provide a mouse function. In addition, when a voice operation is required, the user only needs to issue a voice command to the pickup on the top of the remote controller.

Talk about the experience of using this remote control: The volume of this remote control is not large, and the number of keys is not too much. If you look at the large-size remote control of a foreign brand, you may still not be used to seeing it. Its cross-navigation area uses a micro-switch, which can be triggered when the user presses down. However, the buttons are soft and somewhat affect the feel. The commonly used digital buttons become touchpads, so they feel very uncomfortable. In addition, the touch area of ​​this remote control is set on the upper side, and the comfort level in the hands during operation is affected somewhat.
The secret behind the borderless! Take a look at enough
Since Skyworth E800A is Skyworth's first truly "borderless LCD", we have also disassembled the Skyworth E800A, making it easier for Everbright readers to better understand the features of this product. (Ordinary consumers do not recommend dismantling on their own, because in addition to the risk of machine damage, dismantling on their own can also lead to the invalidation of the warranty service.)

(Ordinary consumers do not recommend dismantling on their own, because in addition to the risk of machine damage, dismantling on their own can also lead to the invalidation of the warranty service.)
The first step is to remove the back shell. Can clearly see the main components of the three major TV: LCD module, panel driver circuit, power module and motherboard.
Motherboard
Motherboard
This is the motherboard of Skyworth E800A. The main processor and heatsink can't be removed, so you won't see the processor's specific information.
Power module
Skyworth E800A power supply module, in order to adapt to the thickness of the fuselage, today's flat panel TV power supply module has adopted an optimized design, and a large number of SMD components to reduce the thickness.
LCD module
The Skyworth E800A's LCD module label comes from LG Display but is assembled in China. It should be pointed out that the LCD panel and the LCD module are two concepts. The former is the core part of the LCD screen. At present, IPS does not have a production line in China; while the latter refers to the entire screen module, including the backlight, polarized light. Many components such as boards, light guide plates, and driver circuits are equipped with assembly plants in the country.
The driving circuit of the LCD screen includes a boost circuit and a shield case is also installed.
Other structural parts
This is the structure of the screen frame. It can be seen that the metal frame of Skyworth E800A only has a protective effect on the surrounding of the screen module, and does not require the support of the frame like a traditional screen, and even installs the driving circuit and other components inside the frame. This new structure not only provides creative space for color TV's industrial designers, but also makes the TV's internal structure more concise and more suitable for assembly line production.
Skyworth E800A speaker volume is not small. It can be seen that the horns on each side actually have two sounding units, and the cushioning bars are installed at the places where the top and back shells are in contact to reduce the resonance.
Power switch and wireless module.
Typical IPS panel style! Comprehensive quality performance test
Skyworth E800A is equipped with LGD's non-flash 3D panel. From the information provided by the manufacturer, this panel is also equipped with a 120Hz speed drive technology, which is a high-end panel focusing on performance.
The following is a real shot of Skyworth's 42E800A connected to HD 1080P signal. There is an error in the screen shot, so the picture is for reference only.

Skyworth Smart TV Platform & APP Experience
Skyworth E800A is a healthy cloud TV based on Android 4.0 platform. Although Google has released the latest version of Android 4.1, but when Skyworth E800A was released, Android 4.0 was still the latest system at that time, taking into account the huge changes in Android 4.0 relative to the old version, as well as the minor changes from 4.1 to 4.0. Therefore, it can be said that the current Android 4.0 smart TV system can still represent the latest trends.

The visual effects of icons and text have been significantly improved after wallpaper replacement
Pressing the Home button on the remote control will enter the smart TV application page. Skyworth calls this “smart 3D UIâ€. In this interface, it not only provides a preview of the current input signal, but also various other functions such as online video on demand, APP store, Skyworth cloud health platform, and system settings. In addition, users can also replace the wallpaper by themselves to create a personalized window.
There are two categories of APP and games in the application store. The increasingly mature Android ecosystem also provides a variety of mainstream applications for Skyworth E800A, from Sina Weibo, public comment, flush, to angry birds and fruits. Ninja and so on, some popular popular APPs can be downloaded and used in free form.
Skyworth E800A also has a built-in web browser. After opening, the system is also very user-friendly. The home page is set as the navigation surface, and you can quickly browse through various mainstream websites through classified search, eliminating the need to enter URLs. We browsed Youku and found that the FLASH elements and videos can all be played smoothly. When combined with the touchpad function of the remote control, the overall experience is relatively smooth.
The Weibo E800A's built-in Sina Weibo App has performed in a generic way. It apparently did not make enough optimizations for TV applications. The main problem is that the fonts are too small and the visual effects are general.
Angry bird application, the effect is not bad.
This is a 3D racing game app. The picture is very beautiful and the three-dimensional feeling is very strong.
Skyworth's Sports and Health Center can detect and manage user's blood pressure, body weight, fat content and other conventional body indicators, and customize targeted exercise courses in combination with applications such as somatosensory games. However, it needs to be implemented through related options.
Gesture control also requires optional accessories to use, this time without experiencing very regret.
Finally talk about the overall experience of each APP. First of all, from the perspective of fluency, under the support of Android 4.0 and high-performance processors, the operation, start-up, and exit processes of the various applications of the Skyworth E800A are relatively rapid and smooth. Except when there is a pause of about 2 seconds at the time of withdrawal, there will be no feeling of being stuck at other times.
VOD service experience: online smooth 3D HD

3D version of "Blue Wizard" playback
The network bandwidth of our evaluation room is about 2M. We tried to watch the effects of watching 3D programs online. Most programs have a buffer speed of less than 30 seconds. After that, they can watch HD programs smoothly and will not be buffered frequently. Interrupt normal program appreciation.
The voice input can be used to quickly search for programs, but when there is no source, the system will also prompt that no voice password is understood, which is easy to confuse users.
When using VOD video services, we can also achieve fast program retrieval through voice input. Skyworth E800A uses the voice recognition engine provided by HKUST, and supports Cantonese and Sichuan dialects. At any time as long as the "Dr. Voice" is activated, the television can be controlled. However, it should be noted that when using speech recognition control, you need to try several times and try to use the language logic that the TV can understand. After you get used to it, you can still achieve better recognition results.
